Summary0009998: Installation Issues
DescriptionThis bug collects numerous installation issues people have run into with previous ParaView installs.

-------------------------------------------------------------
All Platforms:
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Make install doesn't work well -- looks like prefix is being ignored.
* Development install doesn't work well.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Linux:
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Plugins are being installed under "/bin".
* Documentation is not installed at standard locations

-------------------------------------------------------------
Windows:
-------------------------------------------------------------
* "bin" and "lib" dirs are created which seems unnecessary. On Windows, we can just put everything under the same dir.


-------------------------------------------------------------
Mac:
-------------------------------------------------------------
* ... please remember that Qt-cocoa needs the qt_menu.nib directory in the Resources. Also, I think I had trouble with QT_QTCLUCENE_LIBRARY not being included in the bundle and a missing empty qt.conf file (to prevent Qt from loading png/tiff plugins). ~ Michael Wild

 === OS X ====
My custom plugins are NOT being copied into the final installed location.

 ==== OS X ====
The ParaView Application bundle is being forcibly installed into /Applications when I specifically set a CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX of /Users/Shared/Toolkits/ParaView-3.6.1

 Following suggestions in the shell script file:

# InstallPrefix environment variable may be set by caller...
# If not, default to "$DESTDIR/Applications"
 I tried "export InstallPrefix=/Users/Shared/Toolkits/ParaView-3.6.1" and the make install. Still put ParaView.app into /Applications

If this is going to be an "option" then there really needs to be a CMake variable such as "PARAVIEW_OSX_BUNDLE_INSTALL" to make it clear just where the app bundle is going to be installed.

 Here is my version of CreateBundle.sh.in that will create a blank qt.conf and copy the qt_menu.nib file into the proper location inside the application bundle and the qtassistant bundle.

  echo "info: Using default InstallPrefix value:"
  echo " $InstallPrefix"

This prevents paraview from finding paraview-real

 The issues with libQtCLucene.dylib and libqsqlite.dylib not being copied into the application-bundle on Mac OS X can be fixed by this patch:

 Okay, both of Michael Wild's patches have been patched in but this bug has become very multi faceted. What parts of this bug are still not fixed? Just the Application bundle install dir?

Mike Jackson, if you export DESTDIR=<some_dir> and then make install you should get the desired behavior. Though this is more of just a testing feature that Dave Cole put in.

 I tried what you suggested on a "git pull origin master" on 3/17/2010 at 10:15 AM EDT and when I run the make install I get the following:

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/Shared/Toolkits/ParaView
export DESTDIR=$CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
make install

I then get an "Applications/ParaView-3.7.0.app" created in the /Users/Shared/Toolkits/ParaView directory
I also get another folder hierarchy created:

/Users/Shared/Toolkits/ParaView/Users/Shared/Toolkits/ParaView/bin with another paraview.app inside that. So basically the "make install" does NOT work at all on OS X. It is totally messed up. And my custom client plugins were NOT copied into the proper folder structure in any of those folders above.

 Reminder sent to: David Partyka

Dave,

What's the status of this bug? As far as "make install" goes, create a new bug for fix "make install" on all platforms (including Mac). Once CMake adds support for it, we can look it at.

 All the fixes have been applied for installing missing libs. Created a child issue for the make install related issues.

 Hi Mike, I think I have fixed the remainder of the issues related to make install on Mac. If you do make install you should get a bin, lib directories and a paraview app in your CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. Can you test this out. The changes are on ParaView master. Also note I opened a child bug 0010558 specifically for this issue.

 I believe all of these issues are resolved. If anyone disagrees please reopen.
